+As I see it, we don't have bsddb3 in the repos, someone should import 
+it. I can look at it in the next days.
+
+But when the bindings are not supported upstream (I read something along 
+those lines, while looking at those patches), I won't backport them to 
+the Mga2 (and perhaps Mga1 as well?) package.
+I will just backport the security related patches from the cauldron 
+package then.
